Abstract
We conducted a scoping review to identify articles that outlined how established social, political or commercial and economic determinants of health have changed during rapid digital advancements, or that described emergence of new digital determinants of health. We followed the scoping review framework developed by Arksey & O’Malley and Levac et al.,18,19 and the manual for evidence synthesis for scoping reviews20,21 from JBI. We report our findings according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
